Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Suffragettes were campaigning for the right for women to vote; this was something that was not permitted at the time.
- Emmeline Pankhurst is the leader of the WSPU (the Women’s Social and Political Union).
- Reading between the lines to search for clues can help to infer meaning.
- Evidence from the text helps us to justify our inferences.
Common misconception
Pupils may find it challenging to note two different impressions when asked in Task B.
Encourage pupils to think about Emmeline from Sophia's perspective. Verbally model rephrasing Sophia's thoughts into an impression a reader might make about Emmeline.
